ART Paris ART Fair 2014 - March 27th - 30th

On a wonderful sunny saturday afternoon (29/03/14) my friend Justine suggested we should go visit the Paris ART Fair at the Grand Palais  (http://artparis.fr/en).

It was such a good idea. Really I discovered a lot. So where can i begin. Maybe by telling that China was guest of honor so good opportunity to discover the Chinese Artists here in Paris and also the diversity of the painting in China.
Moreover we can discover painting and art from all over the world. So here below few selections.

And here the masterpiece, I my opinion it's two artists I really appreciated this day. A very good inspiration :

Kimiko Yoshida 

She is a Japanese artist born in Tokyo (1963). She lived in Paris, Venice, Arcachon and Tokyo. First photography exhibition on 1998 in Paris. I really admire her work. She is a photographer and most of her work are self-portrait. 

Here we have in white the Divine bride and in Red Dona Isabel. On her webiste : www.kimiko.fr  you can find more of the self-portrait and planning of her coming exhibition.

Meriem Bouderbala 

Here another astonishing artist. She is from Tunis and live between Paris and Tunis. I like her work it's voluptuous, transparent and tribal. Here " Etoffes Cutannées n°2".  You will find others of her fabulous pictures on the website : http://galeriepatricetrigano.com/fr/artistes/view/31

Huang Yan 

Chinese artist - Chinese Shan Sui Tattoo Serie : 4 Season, 2006

Chen Man 

I was so curious to know who is this artist. In fact Chen Man graduated from a design school in China and launch in the same time series of fashion magazine covers, the main one Vision China.

" She creates sequence of cover images that were unique within the history of Chinese magazine covers, Arty manipulated, fantastical (...), the images captured the socio-cultural fascinations of the moment a visual confluence of every nuance of glamour, surface, virtual energy and freedom of the imagination " http://www.chenmaner.com

You can follow her on FB : https://www.facebook.com/ChenManer

Nicolas Comment

I will finish by a french artist. I find his pictures very sensible and in the same time sensual. Not at all provocative. You can judge by yourself.
